[issue2636] Adding a new regex module (compatible with re)

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

Even with in principle approval from Guido, this idea still depends on
volunteers to actually write up a concrete proposal as a PEP (which
shouldn't be too controversial, given Guido already OK'ed the idea) and
then do the integration work to incorporate the code, tests and docs into
CPython (not technically *hard*, but not trivial either). "pip install
regex" starts looking fairly attractive at that point :)
